"243." Bulong ko sa sarili ko. Ayan ang number ng room ko.
Habang naglalakad ako sa hallway bumukas yung isang pinto at lumabas ang isang babae. Tumingin naman sa akin ito at tinaasan ako ng kilay.
"Ikaw ba si Arissa Vincent?"
"Oo ako nga. Bakit?"
"Pasok ka sa room natin."
Sumunod naman ako sa kanya at pumasok sa room. Tumambad naman sa akin ang mga ka roommates ko na naghaharutan, napatigil naman sila at tumingin sa akin.
"Guys, may bago tayong roommate."
"Oh! My gosh, she's so pretty."
"Oh talo kasa pusta ko Min. Akina bente ko."
"Tange hindi ako kapustahan mo si Patty."
"Sorry naman. Hoy! Patta, bente ko."
Ang gulo nila pero yung mga gamit maayos lahat.
"Hi, Ate! Ako po si Mindi Celeto. 2nd year College." -The Shy Girl
"Hi, sweetie pie, butterfly, Clara Mendoza is my name and playing with boys is my game. 1st year College." -The Playgirl.
"Patty Dimingan po, 2nd year College." -The Ordinary.
"Vivian Santos, 4th year College." -The Leader.
"Adrialyn Kim, 3rd year College. I like your dress, pag may time ka shopping tayo."-The Fashionista.
"Arrissa Biancca Vincent, 1st year College." I introduced myself.
"Sino ba ang nag-tour sayo?" Tanong naman ni Patty.
"Si Ms. Sanchez."
"Ah minsan kulang mag-tour si Ma'am, kaya mamaya magto-tour ulit tayong lahat para makapag-bonding na rin tayo."
"Thank you, kasi welcome na welcome ako. Nasan ba yung kama ko saka closet?"
"Ah pangalawa sa dulo, yung bed mo naman sa gitna ni Ate Vivian and Patty."
"Thanks."

"Let's eat, guys. I'm tired." Reklamo ni Clara at nakasalampak na umupo sa Canteen.
"Wala pa tayo sa kalahati ng Winsley University pagod ka na?" Sarcastic na tanong ni Vivian.
"Tss. Sa lalaki lang naman hindi napapagod yan." Sabi naman ni Adrialyn habang chine-check yung kuko niya.
"Ako na lang ang kukuha ng pagkain, sabihin niyo na lang kung ano ang gusto niyo. Patty! Samahan mo ako." Pagpepresenta ni Mindi.
"Salad lang sa akin"- Adrialyn.
"Steak."- Vivian
"2 hot men, please."- Clara
"Psh. Mamaya na yang lalaki, pagkain muna." Sermon ni Vivian
"Okay. One cup of rice, grilled pork ribs, one box of pizza, peach mango pie, iced tea with lemon slices." Napanganga ako sa kakainin niya.
"Seriously, hindi ka pa gutom nan ha." Sabi ni Vivian.
"I'll repeat, I'm just tired not hungry." Clara said then she rolled her eyes. Bumaling naman sa akin si Patty.
"Ikaw, Ate Arissa ano sa iyo?" Nakangiting tanong niya kaya nginitian ko rin siya.
"Oreo cheesecake, dark chocolate cake, and a can of coke."
"Alright, we'll be right back. Wait for us, guys."
Naglakad na si Patty at Mindi pero tinawag ulit sila ni Clara. Mukhang may idadagdag pa sa kakainin niya.
"Ay! If you need help for carrying our foods, just tap the back of the boy on your front while in the line. Just say 'Clara needs your help for carrying her foods'. If the boy ask me if where I am, point out our table. Gets?"
"Whatever, I don't need the help of your boys. I can manage and live without boys. Duh." Sabi ni Patty at nagpatuloy na silang dalawa ni Mindi sa paglalakad.
Clara pouted.
"Hhmp, I'm only concerned for them. Am I wrong, Vivian?"
"Tss. You're always wrong, Clara. Stupid. Stop speaking in English. We're in the Philippines not in the States." Vivian said but Clara just crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
"I'll stop speaking in English, if you stop being bossy around and mean to me. Deal?"
"I don't like dealing with you and stop pouting your lips, you're not a duck."
"Can you please stop being mean to me. Your hurting me." Clara said with feelings and wiped her imaginary tears.
"Cut! Bravo! Bravo! You can now audition to Drama Club, you are so dramatic. People, let's give them a round of applause." Parang Director na sabi ni Adrialyn habang pumapalakpak pa, ang audience-kuno daw ay pumapalakpak rin. Tumayo naman si Clara, kumaway at nag-flying kiss pa sa mga fans daw niya.
"Thank you." Umupo na si Clara at binalingan si Vivian wearing her wide smile in her face. "So? Vivian, accompany me later to the Drama Club."
"Whatever. Don't talk to me, I'm hungry." And again, Clara pouted.
"Hey! Guys, support us again for another drama of Clara next week." Parang baliw na paanyaya ni Adrialyn sa mga students sa Canteen. Tumango naman ang iba, yung iba naman ngiti lang ang isinagot at nagpatuloy na sa pagkain. Siguro sikat sila Adrialyn dito sa Winsley University.
Bumaling naman ng tingin si Clara sa akin. "Hey! Arissa, want to accompany me in the Drama Club later?"
"I'll think about it." And gave her an awkward smile. Pwede bang iba na lang ang ayain niya?
"Hey! Guys, nandito na ang foods. Let's eat." Sabi ni Patty. Umupo na silang dalawa ni Mindi at ibinigay na ang mga pagkain namin.
"Pst. Clara, ano na naman ang kaartehang ginawa mo?" Tanong ni Patty. Nagsimula ng kumain ng tahimik sila Vivian.
"That is not kaartehan, it is a talent." Proud na sabi ni Clara. Bigla namang tumawa ng malakas at sabay-sabay sila Vivian, Mindi, Patty, at Adrialyn. Ako naman tinakpan ko lang ng tissue ang bibig ko sa gulat baka kasi maibuga ko yung chocolate cake na kinakain ko. Yung ibang students naman na malapit sa table namin ay napatingin dahil sa tawa nila.
"Talent? Oh! That's horrible. " -Vivian
"Really? I don't think so." -Patty
"Actually it's annoys me very much." -Adrialyn
"No comment hahaha." -Mindi
"Same as here pft." -Me
"I hate you guys! You are always making fun of me." Then again she wiped dramatically her imaginary tears.
"That's enough. Continue eating our foods." Pagsasaway ni Vivian. Tumigil na kami at pinagpatuloy ang pagkain.

Hallo! Looks like I finally saw my mistakes. Gosh. I edited some part and details about the Girls. Can you believe it? Min and Patty are only High schoolers palang?! They're so young pala para sa love and kaharutan. I edited it so no one will accused me for being a child abuse. Hahaa. I'm so jologs palang mag-type. Well old habits die hard kuno. Hahaha. I'm self-reflecting now so I can change. Hehehe. I'm only just editing the chapters pa so walang date ang update. Busy eh. I'm open na pala for dedications. Hahaha. So yun lang ang ingay ko na. Thanks guys. Love
